    How to get rid of pistol

    CAN I delete/crunch my pistol (or in other words my holstered weapon) - I want to run ONLY my two shoulder weapons - is this possible?

    What I am trying to do is be able to switch weapons between two only - there is no single hotkey to switch between primary and secondary weapons without also having to equip the holstered weapon.

    Nope.

    Just use 1 and 2, or scroll down and up with the scroll wheel on your mouse if you have one.

    I don't play on pc, so don't know if you're pressing the wrong key. And no, you can't crunch your pistol/ holstered weapon. You can change it to a sawn off shotgun and that's about it.

    On Xbox we press Y to switch between weapons and double tap for the sidearm. Are you perhaps double tapping by mistake?

    On PC you can map a key to 'scroll up' or 'scroll down' through all 3 weapons - I want to use the mouse wheel down to toggle between the two shoulder weapons - ah well.

    I'll write a AHK or Lua script to do it off the mouse wheel.

    You always have to remember which one you are currently using, as there is no dedicated "primary <-> secondary" switch on keyboard, only if you activate the controller.
    They probably thought otherwise, considering the sheer amount of keys on a keyboard versus an entire controller design.

    Two vastly different weaponskins are your only salvation ^^

    Edit: Actually...Set *Select primary weapon* to MW up, and *Select secondary* to MW down.

    I do the same, use too very different weapon skins as a visual cue to which weapon I have out in a fight.

    I wrote this up last night:

    Code:
    ; The Division utility
    ; by Chazcon 2/27/2017
    
    #SingleInstance ignore
    
    weapon = 1
    		
    #IfWinActive, Tom Clancy's The Division	
    			
    WheelDown:: ; Switches weapons between primary and secondary
    if (weapon == 1)
    {
    Send {2 down}
    Sleep 30
    Send {2 up}
    weapon = 2
    return
    }
    else
    {
    Send {1 down}
    Sleep 30
    Send {1 up}
    weapon = 1
    return
    }
    			
    #IfWinActive
    		
    ; end of program

    why would you not use a pistol that gives you 2 extra damage talents for your both primary weapons?

    I started using scroll up (primary) and scroll down) recently. Oddly enough it feels quite natural. Dunno why I didn't think of it before now lol.
